Where are all the updates and pics to keep me enthused and ready to restart my project? I nearly have a garage now! If it stops raining I should get the roof on in the next few days!
Paul.

I'm doing little bits at the moment Paul,but not enough to stick up on here at the moment.

I find it hard to do much on the car during the summer, so expect to see loads more, once this brilliant summer we are having comes to an end!!!

I've got some things in the pipeline, so I should be showing off some bits soon.

I think everyone is getting ready for Avon Park at the moment.

I'm off to order some more bits.

Nice to hear from yoiu Tim. I keep checking back on the site to see whats going on, I am looking forward to the winter when I will have all my building work done and can do the things I enjoy like building cars and cycling.

Paul.

I'm working on the steering, drive flanges, engine and gearbox and the rear engine cover at the moment. But with the hubs missing from the car at the moment, there isn't alot that can be done on the car, as it is sat on 2 jacks and an axle stand.

I'm going to start my next push after I get back from Avon Park. And I'll post some pictures then.

ok then a quick update from myself been a little busy over the last few weeks

Stripped down the whole rear end of my car, built a jig, started building new rear subframe and suspension, built up new engine, decided new subframe wont be ready in time for avon park, so beefed up the exsting one, re fitted, swapped over all my bits to the new engine. fitted the new engine, have put almost 200 miles on it running in so far, then to germany for a couple of days on buisness just got back, got to finish running the engine in and fit my new nitrous kit if eveything has turned up whilst ive been away

and ive now got a cold/fluy thing slowing me down

sounds good West! I was following your thread on brakes and am always interested in what you are upto! As you know I have a vtec for mine too. Keep up the good work!
Paul.

I spent last evening driving up to Manchester to pick up some seats. When I am going to fit them, I do not know.

I've still got loads of twiddly bits to do before the weekend - plus trying to find some transport.

Is there a noise limit at Avon? Because my Coupe is LOUD

in a nut shell

NO


you'll be alot quiter than some cars that will be their trust me . ever been to a drag racing event? the noise is un real at a full fia race event with top fuels and the like, my dads car is a 10.5 litre V8 with open headers, fingers in ears needed for that and that quite compared to the top fuels,


Paul you coming to avon for a snoop around?

WEST

Love to come to avon mate, but all my spare time is being taken up with my house at the moment. Would love to see some coupes in the flesh especially those of the vtec variety! Maybe next year.
Paul.

Not that it really matters, I'm fully expecting something major to break even before I hit the strip.

The coupe will have had absolutely no shakedown before saturday - it's only moved about 2 feet under it's own power in 17 years - that's an average of about 0.00000000287 mph

And i'm darn sure i'll have forgotten to do something important

My current tinkering list fills a sheet of A4 - oh dear.

holiday time now skint, been down to co kerry and to dingle bay in south of ireland done 1500 miles in amotor that does 28mpg but the guiness keep me going good time had by one and all, deisel in south of ireland £1,15 a litre

I too am house bound on DIY, plus i`m under orders to get it finished now with only 6 months till we get the patter of little feet around the house.

It will take me years to get a road going coupe together.

ok after a week off work and back up north to the garage, progress has gone pretty well on mine - only a few jobs left on the list before i tackle the mot i think, shame i havent got a free weekend for the at least the next month though... some pics..

I'm currently building a new shed as the old one let more water in than it kept out, I have also been put under the thumb with my car allowance as in recent months has been some what excessive. My welder also decided to give up the go so thats off being fixed. I have however been road testing the car after the rebuild and have a few suspension and brake issues needing attention.

Must resist joke about feline in picture...

I`m liking the wheels dave.
